Genesis Sprint AR at Harriman

Genesis AR in Harriman SP with Brad Whitmore. Started with an O course - luckily we had the Silvermine map so the navigation (Brad did it all) was straightforward. Did some jogging on trails but mostly stayed in the woods. Rolled my ankle on the way to CP2, but it never got too bad. Next we biked on roads down to the lakes for a kayak section. This was mostly a long gentle uphill and by the end my legs were toast. The kayaking was tough - need to do more strength work I guess if I'm going to do more of these. Portaging the kayak up the hill was brutal; kept falling. Biking back was almost all downhill which was great but totally froze my wet feet so when we had to hike the bikes along a trail I couldn't feel them at all. Brad pushed my bike almost the whole way, me stumbling along behind. The last biking section on trails was grueling - had to walk the bike a lot. But hung in there. (Joe B. and Erin won in 5:12.)
